During the celebration Carly worked intensely on coloring a paper plate angel and tortilla ornaments. Her favorite craft was making "twinkles." These stars were tongue depressors glued together that Carly was able to decorate with foam sticker stars and glitter.
I assumed Carly and my mom would only be present for the first 30 minutes of festivities. Carly completed a full hour of crafts, with the occasional snack break. During the storytelling portion of the evening my mom's goal was just to keep Carly working quietly and not disturb the other children listening to the story. However, Carly realized that many of the other children had gathered around our Pastor. So, she hopped down from her chair and joined them on the floor. Following story time she continued with her crafts. She was finally willing to leave after majority of the other children had gone home for their bath and bedtime routines.
